Option Description Additional Details

Code

Insert a blank

line of code.

You can insert a code line before, after, or between text

lines.

Section

Break

Insert a

section break.

You can insert a section break to divide your live script or

function into manageable sections to evaluate individually.

A section can consist of code, text, and output. For more

information, see “Run Sections in Live Scripts” on page 19-

14.

Text

Insert a blank

line of text.

A text line can contain formatted text, hyperlinks, images,

or equations. You can insert a text line before, after, or

between code lines.

Table of

Contents

Insert a table

of contents.

The table of contents contains a list of all the titles and

headings in the document. Only the title of the table of

contents is editable.

You can add a table of contents only in text lines. If you

insert a table of contents into a code line, MATLAB places

it directly above the current code section.

A code example is sample code that appears as indented

and monospaced text.

Select Plain to insert sample code as unhighlighted text.

Select MATLAB to insert sample code as text highlighted

according to MATLAB syntax.

image.

You can add images only in text lines. If you insert an
